Obama Nominates First Female West Point DeanWashington (AFP) - US President Barack Obama has nominated a woman to become the United States Military Academy's first female dean in its 216-year history.
He named Cindy Jebb, a graduate of the prestigious institution -- also known as West Point -- who currently heads its Social Sciences department, the school said in a statement Friday.
The nomination requires confirmation by the Senate.
"This is a historic time for our military and I'm excited for West Point to have its first woman has to hold this position," said Acting Secretary of the Army Patrick Murphy.
If approved, Jebb will be promoted to brigadier general.
"She's revered amongst the faculty and cadets and we're lucky to have her," said West Point's superintendent, Lieutenant General Robert Caslen.

No. Dean is a term generally used in an academic setting to refer to a person in charge of some part of an institution but not the whole. In the specific context of West Point, my understanding is that the Superintendent is in overall charge while the Dean is in charge of the academic faculty and instruction, but not such things as finances or military training.
